OSAAT DT CARD - CHALLENGE NO 174 - ANYTHING GOES.

Hello peeps and buddies everywhere!! How amazing is blogging, I have friends all over the world and I feel that I know so many of you even though it is only 'virtually'. And..... I am really enjoying myself - lol!!!Anyway I had better get down to my next card before I really go orf on a waffle (well I am on Planet Susie!!). It's very vague and airy fairy on my planet, and trivia of any sort is welcome, we just don't want anything too serious here! We can do serious later.For my DT card at OSAAT - Challenge no 174, I was given a gorgeous digi from Floppy Latte to use and I printed it out on some turquoise card that has a shaded effect, going from dark to light. This shows up a lot better in real life but it is a gorgeous card to print on.

I printed the second one onto Neenah card and coloured the flowers then fussy cut them out - boy were they bloomin' fussy - and deeeecoupaged (sorry I just cannot resist) them onto the frame. I cut the centre out of the card so that I could pop the sentiment underneath. The frame and sentiment are then matted onto a piece of turquoise card and then centred on one of my favourite papers!! My snippets card was made using the little bit that was left over - lol!!

Ingredients

8" x 8" card blank

Digi Image - Simple Framed Flowers - Floppy Latte

Digi Sentiment - Ginger's House

Papers from stash - cannot remember where from!!

Rainbow Drops - Crafty Notions

Copic Markers

Versamark Chalk Inks - Aquatic Splash, Ocean Depth

After I had printed the sentiment I did my new 'thing' of using my special £1 holey sponge and 'pounced' some of the Versamark Chalk inks over the top.

I do hope you check out the One Stitch at a Time Blog (OSAAT)http://onestitchatatimechallenge.blogspot.co.uk/2013/07/please-read-our-rules-1-can-enter-with.html to see what my teamies have made. The challenge this week is Anything Goes, so I would really like to see some of your creations on there.

Can't believe how carefully you fussy cut those flowers! Wowser! The shading is beautiful for sure. Sue, thank you for your package which arrived today! I was very surprised with the large glue and syringe and great instructions. But mostly, I treasure the card!

About Me

I have been crafting since I was very small and started making my dolls clothes when I was 8. I have been married to my hubby for almost 49 years and even made my wedding dress and bridesmaid dresses. I still have the pattern - and the dress. We have had cats all our married life but we lost Ebony in January 2012 and Misty in February 2012. A huge feral cat used to own us but sadly, he died in August 2012. He was such a character for a feral cat and, even though we couldn't touch him, we knew he sort of liked us! We decided we wouldn't take on any more pets but in March 2013 a female cat and her 'husband' started living in the garden and despite being ignored they wouldn't leave so ... in short.... they both adopted us and they have now been neutered and chipped and once again we have fur babies! In 2015 an abandoned long haired puss adopted us and he's gorgeous! I will never know how they knew we would take them in - perhaps it's the large tattoo on our foreheads saying 'MUG'!! We wouldn't swap them for the world though.
